And all of it is not cheap. I cannot imagine having to "buy" that ammo loaded. Casting your own bullets and buying (50)-(100) brass at a minimum to begin sure makes shooting more dollar friendly, and you never run out. Some more common calibers are actually not currently cost efficient to reload so I just hoard the brass while it's good times. But big bore specialty rounds are a price point I can really come out well rolling my own. I even shoot into a backstop where I dig out the lead bullets and cast them again, over and over.
But many shooters buy a couple boxes of (20) and it lasts them a season or two. Not a thing wrong with that either, your time is worth a whole bunch when you consider it. The equipment I use to do all that work too is probably staggering in cost, not factoring that it was accumulated over decades of varied projects. Now though I enjoy that more than the actual shooting. Something to think about.
